I am looking to have a remote start / security system installed into my 2006 Volvo V70R 6-Speed manual transmission, however I would like to know if there are any remote start / security systems that DOES NOT require me giving up a key in order for it to work. Thank you for any info and God Bless !!! :)

It's generally not the remote starter that deals with the car's immobilizer key, but a separate part that sometimes interfaces with only the car's immobilizer, and sometimes can also control things like the door locks on the car.
There are only three companies making these interfaces, all out of Montreal. xpresskit.com, ifar.ca, idatalink.com. You'll see some interface brand names around such as Soundstream, Audiovox, Omega, and so forth......all of these are just rebadged units from the Big 3 companies.
No one makes an immobilizer bypass for your car, and it doesn't seem likely to ever happen, at least not in the near future.
You'll have to give up one of your existing keys, or have a new one made. Pretty much everything with a European car is going to be more expensive and/or more inconvenient.
Fortunately, those three companies do all make modules that will make the installation of the remote starter much easier. You can go to all three sites and look up your car, where you can read the installation guide. You'll see that the module will control the car's doorlocks (so you don't have to run wires into the driver's door), provide tachometer and hood status (so you don't have to fish wires under the hood), and so forth. The module isn't cheap but it saves a lot of time and makes the installation much cleaner.
The combination of the European car, the manual transmission, the need to lose a key, and the module for the locks, will generally add up to quite a bit of money to get something professionally installed. Try to find a shop with a lot of experience in manual transmission cars.
